The only thing that turned me off about Paul was his accent


ugh idk its not because he is French, but it is because of his French accent. Now if it was a Nigerian accent or English or Australian ! My panties would drop to the floor by themselves.

I've never thought the actor was cute, but I think his accent is off-putting to me as well. I had a thing with a French guy, so maybe Martinez's thicker accent just didn't do it for me.

A bit of the old ultraviolence...

I dated a French man many moons ago. He was more like (in looks and accent) the French actor Mathieu Amalric than Olivier Martinez.

I found the former's French accent sexy. There is something about Olivier Martinez that is a complete turn off to me and it's not the accent. 




Don't f@ck with me fellas! This aint my first time at the rodeo.

I found Edward sexier than Paul even though they tried to make Gere as unsexy as possible.
You add in their personalities, and Ed wins by a landslide.
I think Paul's wife left him because he was a serial cheater.

Not crazy about Oliver Martinez, but my least favorite part about him was his hair.

Good point. His hair was awful.

Btw, Sophia is DOOMED!!

I thought the accent was the ONLY redeeming thing about Paul. His looks were scuzzy & kind of goofy.
His personality was immature at best & predatory at worst.

To top it off, Edward was much better looking.




I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus.
Didn't he discover America?
Penfold, shush.
